Pegs even lower than Buell?

So I rode to the AMA races yesterday, and I'm having more issues this year than last. I'm in need of a hip surgery, and it just isn't in the cards right now for me. Long story short, the peg position on the busa is becoming very painful to me.

I have the Buell pegs already, just wondering if anyone has any other pegs or other tricks in general to lower the pegs.
I even thought of having my stock seat worked on to make it taller. The reach to the bars isn't an issue for me, just the pegs right now.

I think anything lower than the Buell's would contact the exhaust headers. Moving the pegs outside of the exhaust just would not look right. If you hear of something that will work, let us know. I could always go lower if possible for more comfort.

Even thou I have bought some buell pegs,I am going to research these. The capabilities could be sweet. Ride to the track in low position,crack open the hump,grab a wrench and raise for your track day/day in the twisties. Even for touring,the abilty to move ones feet occasionally,even slightly,could ease rider fatigue.

I bought a set off Ebay by Knight Design, they fit the Buell XB12 but are 1" lower than the stock Buell pegs. So it made a HUGE difference on my Gen1 Busa. I have a turbo with a dump pipe so the exhaust wasn't an issue in my case. The pegs would probably not clear on a bike with factory exhaust.

Its all about timing for us,the "Walking Wounded". I can barely walk somedays,foot surgery and knee surgery needed BIGTIME. But in the middle of riding season...its just not gonna happen. For know...I'll just live with the excrustiating pain.

Well, I weigh in at about 185 without gear. When I am riding I have leather jacket, gloves, boots and full face helmet. Also, I normally have a backpack with uniform and lunch in it. I have never once felt they were going to give out, they are of good construction and I am glad I bought them.
